It can be real tough to get people to acknowledge climate change 🥵 and even tougher to get folks to #actonclimate. But, as future.blue.youth.council member judestrelitzblock points out in his recent blog post, the pandemic has shown that people CAN change, especially if their lives depend on it.

"We have all been witness to a fascinating experiment in how to communicate about urgent threats to our survival so that (skeptical) people will listen," he wrote ✍️

"Personal storytelling is surfacing as our most effective tactic for not just enhancing the public’s awareness of the need to protect our oceans or prepare for weather extremes, but engaging people in the work of changing their behavior."
